Nomination period open for N.B. candidates
It’s election season again in North Battleford and the nomination period for those who want to throw their hats in the ring is now open.
The nomination period for the Oct. 26 North Battleford election is open as of Thursday, Sept. 1. Correctly filed out nomination forms will be accepted during regular city hall office hours until Sept. 20 and then on nomination day Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Nominations papers can be picked up at city hall and they include some personal information such as name, address and occupation. To complete the paperwork, aspiring nominees must have at least five signatures from other voters.
Returning officer Debbie Wohlberg said the completed forms need to be brought in to city hall to be formally filed and the five signatures are a vital part of the submission.
